You can put a time limit between posts and prevent users to post same phrases before their last.

You can try digging topics that you or your member post. This will attract certain digg users who are not aware of your site. I also noticed a flashing advertisement on your site, not many people would like that, if you want to place ads, try using only text.

When i got bought a laptop, they didn't provide me with a recovery disc. I'm not sure if they're suppose to provide one, but you can make one yourself.

about the Unmountable_boot_volume,

1.Insert the Windows XP CD-ROM into the CD-ROM drive, and then restart the computer.

Click to select any options that are required to start the computer from the CD-ROM drive if you are prompted.

2.When the "Welcome to Setup" screen appears, press R to start the Recovery Console.

3.If you have a dual-boot or multiple-boot computer, select the installation that you must access from the Recovery Console.

4.When you are prompted, type the Administrator password. If the administrator password is blank, just press ENTER.

5.At the command prompt, type chkdsk /r , and then press ENTER.

6.At the command prompt, type exit , and then press ENTER to restart your computer.

This takes a bit longer, but the system should boot back into Windows.

Perhaps you want to try to download it form another site?

oh... cool.

You should post a Hijackthis log so that it can be analysed first.

Protable apps is nice.

But then again, I'd recommend vista if you have better specs.

Use English. it depends on how much time you sped on it. You also need to research site that are phishing and add them to your black list

1. Press the PrtSc/SysRq at the top of your keyboard (look at illustration below)

2. Open MS Paint

3. Press Ctrl+V so that the screen shot goes into paint.

4. Save your picture as JPG (you might also have to resize it so that it doesn't get cut when posted here)

5. Go to a image hosting site such as www.servimg.com

6. From there on, everything should be self explanatory.

Yea, you should try re-installing it. If not wait till Firefox 3.1 is out. It'll be out soon.

If your pc seems to be running slow after installing vista sp1, don't fret, this is normal. Prior to the update, vista's superfetch feature had built up a host of user specific optimizations that improve performance with the applications you use regularly.

During the sp1 installation process however, The superfetch data is cleared from the pc. To regain the performance optimizations, simply use the pc as you would normally. It should pick up a in a couple of hours or days.

Go to Start -> Run
then type the following:

ping www.google.com -t

You can try out other websites, too.

here's one trick

Check Your Ping

Go to Start -> Run
then type the following:

ping www.google.com -t

You can try out other websites, too.

You mean the system restore size?

For that you can go to system restore, Click settings, select the drive and click settings again and set a quota for it.

I'd rate Kaspersky first on my list.

I just found another way to do it, try this:

Go to Control Panel -> Network Connections
-> Right-click on your Dial-up or ADSL connection -> Properties
-> Networking
-> Uninstall QoS Packet Scheduler

mine is earth worm jim and CD man

Windows uses 20% of your bandwidth Here's how to Get it back:

Microsoft reserve 20% of your available bandwidth for their own purposes (suspect for updates and interrogating your machine etc..)

Here's how to get it back:

Click Start > Run > type "gpedit.msc" This opens the group policy editor. Then go to:
Local Computer Policy > Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Network > QOS Packet Scheduler > Limit Reservable Bandwidth.

Double click on Limit Reservable bandwidth. It will say it is not configured, but the truth is under the 'Explain' tab :

"By default, the Packet Scheduler limits the system to 20 percent of the bandwidth of a connection, but you can use this setting to override the default."

So the trick is to ENABLE reservable bandwidth, then set it to ZERO. This will allow the system to reserve nothing, rather than the default 20%.

If you are comfortable modifying the registry you can set the value of the
key

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows
Search\SetupCompletedSuccessfully

to 0 and then reboot. This will delete
everything the indexer has currently indexed and start again.

Or try

Open Windows Explorer, right click the system drive (Usually C and click
Properties. In the General Tab, make sure that "Index this drive for faster
searching" is checked.

Firefox for me.

Are you experiencing any problems?

You can fix these entries:

O2 - BHO: (no name) - {54D7F34A-F7F8-4F09-A7B5-4EA223FDA812} - C:\WINDOWS\system32\vtsqn.dll (file missing)

O2 - BHO: (no name) - {7E853D72-626A-48EC-A868-BA8D5E23E045} - (no file)

Other than that your log is clean.

You need to get the latest version of HiJackThis (2.0.2)

here:

Just wondering, how do i actually adjust the memory to be used by an application, i have a software that usually uses 500k but drops to 50k now. and it usually goes not responding.

Try cyberlink.

This link would be useful:

http://home.real.com/product/help/rhapweb/en/TS_Missing_sound_card_drivers.htm

Firefox is the best.

Mozilla Corp. used the launch of Firefox 3.0 last month to boost its browser market share to over 19%

Sounds very much like a malware problem.

Download a copy of HijackThis and save it to your desktop in a folder. Do a scan and save the HijackThis logfile. Do not remove anything. Post your log file here. Link to HijackThis:

http://geekpolice.net/HiJackThis-202-Download-h1.htm

CCleaner is also quite a good tool to clean junk

I'd recommend XP for that amount of RAM.

Glad it worked. Please mark the thread as solved. Thank you. =)

Download the latest version of hijackthis and we shall proceed from there.

Download the latest version of hijackthis and rename it to inferno.exe and post your log file here.
i will check the log for you.

I believe is has a cause with malware...

get this
http://www.free-codecs.com/download/CoreVorbis.htm

or this:

http://www.free-codecs.com/download/AC3_Filter.htm%22

Just wondering, does a CPU fan spins all the while, mine seems to spin sometimes only.

Try updating your codec, download it from here:

http://www.windows-media-player-updates.com/windowsmediaplayer11codecs.html

Glad that you computer runs better. =)

‡‡Please run HijackThis again and click "Scan". Place checks next to the following entries if still present in the code and close all browser and other windows except for HijackThis, and click "Fix Checked".

I'm not sure if it might work, but it's worth a try:

Go to Start/ Run/ type: cmd
Press Okay or Hit Enter.
At the command prompt, type or copy/paste: ipconfig /flushdns
Hit Enter.
Close the command box.

Then go to Start/ Control Panel, and choose Network Connections.
Right click on your default connection, usually Local Area Connection or Dial-up Connection if you are using Dial-up, and and choose Properties.
Double-click on the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) item.
Select the radio button that says "Obtain DNS servers automatically".
Click OK twice to get out of the properties screen and restart your computer.

If it doesn't work hopefully someone else with better knowledge can help you out.

This is most probably caused by the malware "F-Nimda"

The SHELLFIX.REG (download below) file is used to fix Explorer startup problems
resulted from unconditional termination of F-Nimda tool during
its operation.

If F-Nimda tool is terminated by a user or operating system while
it is scanning a hard disk, there will be no icons and no taskbar
on Windows desktop. To fix the problem you will have to run the
SHELLFIX.REG file.
